Speaker 1: The early bird gets the worm, and the early riser

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: beats the traffic. On one of the busiest travel days

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: of the year, John is heading home to Medford from Springfield,

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: but he's not taking any chances.

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: We got up early so that we could beat the

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 2: traffic because we figured to be traffic later today and

7
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: been a smooth drive ever since.

8
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: So this morning, do you think you made the right call?

00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 3: I think so. My wife made the call. I just

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 3: follow instructions.

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: Bill has been on the road since four in the

00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: morning as he drives his daughter back to college from

Speaker 4: hang out with her.

16
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: The worst time travel today is well pretty much all day.

17
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: Drivers should expect heavy traffic all the way through the

18
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: evening hours on major highways. But how do people keep

19
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,280

22
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 5: I saw it so right now.

23
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 6: I mean, it's Christmas time, so it's good to listen

24
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 6: to some Christmas music.

25
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 7: It's too bad, I'll stop in the rest area or

26
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 7: something like that and just let it die down.

27
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,760
